    He replaced them quite often, actually.

    Ahh, so that's the trick. I remember before he got busted you could pretty much get by with anything hanging from your mirror, the nazi's were to lazy to actually check the tag but after that they were always in our lot running tags.

    Just for fun.....get a parking ticket in downtown Chicago some day! A simple meter violation, for example, is $50.00 in the heart of downtown.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    No kidding. I got one in a rental car for work there. The ticket is almost cheaper than the actual parking spot. $22 an hour at Navy Pier? WTF.

    Those invisible No Parking signs are a bitch. I know when I was going to NDSU I failed to see them too, but then maybe it was all the partying that caused the problem.

    About 2 years ago, NDSU hired a new Parking supervisor (Rob Lynch) to "Clean Up" the parking situation on campus. He has done a good job and I would suspect that parking (including enforcement) is now a paying proposition.

    It might seem like a bitch (and I still get plenty of tickets when I am up visiting folks on campus, pisses my wife off royally!) but the pay lot always has room in it.

    And just like everything else, parking at SU is actually pretty good compared to other campuses. In College Station, there is no parking on streets close to campus (the few spots are used up pretty quick) and permits were pretty expensive. There were parking garages that charged plenty or you could park in the "Mud Lot', a glorified dirt patch for $5, no time limit.

    Parking ticket then (in the late 90's) were $25.
    The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft-living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life...
